SAUJS leaders want to meet their elders
The SA Union of Jewish Students has invited the community to attend a Gala Dinner next month. While its billed as an “Alumni” event, SAUJS’ special project portfolio head, Cayla Urdang, assured SAJR Online today that “everyone’s welcome.” They hope to “recapture the spirit of previous generations of student activists,” and SAUJS is asking the community’s help “to track down as many SAUJS Alumni as possible.” They are also looking for memorabilia. Read how you can help SAUJS, and all about that Banquet, too.

Whether you hear it billed as the “SAUJS Gala Dinner” or the “SAUJS Alumni Gala Dinner,” SAUJS’ special project portfolio head Cayla Urdang assured Jewish Report Online today that “everyone is welcome,” alumni or not. The event is open to everyone in the community.
The formal invitation for the event is below the story, but this is not just any dinner.

The past chairs and committee members of SAUJS reads like a Who’s-Who of the community. Never mind the campus committees and simply the members. Many of them were in the trenches against the Apartheid regime back in the day.
“As part of the SAUJS special project portfolio for 2015,” explains Cayla, “we are organising an Alumni dinner to be held on 27 July. We are excited to planning an event that will recapture the spirit of previous generations of student activists and create a conversation with the current leadership.”
What a great idea!
Urdang says that the history of SAUJS is very unique. “We are trying to track down as many SAUJS Alumni as possible so that we can relive it,” she says.
